You have no idea how much I want to work for them.

Although I have decided to get a Master's in Computer Science (completion will probably be 2011) I want to work for them after I get it.

I wouldn't mind working for them right after I graduate with my Bachelor's in Physics, but I want to go for the Associate Guidance and Navigation engineer (I know several programming languages). I just know that to move up, I'll need a Master's.

Hi, I am from Michigan. I would like to start a small business, so I need some government grant. I have heard that there are government grants available to help women and minorities with a small business. But it is too difficult to find any information the actual name of the specific grants or something. Is there any way to get a government grant? Thank you in advance.
